Kolo Toure has signed a four-year deal at Manchester City for a fee reported to be in the region of £16million.
The former Arsenal defender agreed personal terms at Eastlands earlier on Wednesday and successfully passed a medical later in the day.
A severance package, which was thought to be a stumbling block, for Toure has now been agreed with the Gunners and the Ivory Coast star has completed his move after seven seasons at Emirates Stadium.
City boss Mark Hughes is pleased to have signed the versatile defender and believes that he will add world-class ability.
"I am delighted to welcome Kolo to Manchester City," The Welshman told the club's official website.
"It is no secret that we have been looking to strengthen our defence, and in Kolo I feel we have recruited a world-class player. He brings a wealth of Premier League experience from his seven seasons with Arsenal.
